Scaling Digital Quality Measurement with Bulk Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) and Real-World Collaboration
The Bulk FHIR® Quality Coalition—led by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) in collaboration with health plans, providers and health information networks—set out to prove that exchanging clinical data for digital quality measurement can be fast, scalable and standards-based. This panel brings together key participants from the inaugural NCQA Bulk FHIR Cohort, including MultiCare, Cambia Health Solutions, and eHealth Exchange, to share their perspectives, technical lessons, and policy implications of implementing regulated FHIR application programming interfaces (APIs) for Healthcare Effectiveness and Data Information Set (HEDIS) reporting. Attendees will gain a rare behind-the-scenes look at how this multi-stakeholder collaboration leveraged FHIR-based APIs, United States Core Data for Interoperability/U.S. Core standards, and the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement-aligned infrastructure to reduce chart chasing, improve data quality and accelerate HEDIS performance measurement. Panelists will explore technical, operational and governance barriers they encountered—and overcame—to make Bulk FHIR real.
